Roger Neilson used to say, “It’s not who you play, but when you play them.”

And he was right. Tomorrow is a good time for the Rangers to be playing the Devils, who face the dreaded “first game back from a road trip of three or…

Seriously, he remains the meal ticket along with the goaltender,…

At least there were a few laughs last night:
